What is Volotea ?

Volotea is a Spanish airline that was created in 2011 by the founders of Vueling which started operating flights in 2012. Its name comes from the Spanish verb Revolotear which means ‘flitting’ and was chosen to emphasise the concept of the airline’s project which is to connect small and medium-sized cities. What the founders of Volotea Carlos Muños and Lázaro Ros realised before launching this new project was that most flights in Europe leave from capital cities forcing people from other regions to travel all the way to these main airports to be able to fly.
